And in all likelyhood he will succeed this time.

Sure, a competitor was removed but that was about it. Costly way of doing business.

I agree. I can't think of much that AA has to show after buying Air Cal, Reno Air or TWA except for a few MD-80's.

Just curious why you think he'll succeed this time? I personally can't recall how delta was able to dodge the bullet.

Just read the news. Everyone sees it coming.

American could bulk up through US Airways merger - USATODAY.com

I kept saying the same thing on here months ago about an impending AMR bankruptcy, and a lot of people here didn't want to believe it. Guess it will "told you so" again. Take off the blinders. It's coming.

JetBlue and Alaska merger after AA emerges from bankruptcy. UsAir only if it's broken up.

"Everyone" saw it coming with DAL also, but it didn't happen...if the resolve is strong enough, it (Dougie) can be stopped again. And for the sake of the AMR pilots, I truly hope you are able to fend him off also....Good luck!
